'Asbridge can't help but tell a ripping yarn, often breezily dramatic, whipping the narrative along' The Times. A superb and definitive one-volume account of the Crusades, the impact of which still resonates to this day. In the 11th century, a vast Christian army, called to a holy war by the Pope, ended up in the Muslim world of the Eastern Mediterranean, capturing Jerusalem, a city sacred to both religions. Throughout the two hundred years that followed this First Crusade, Islam and the West struggled for dominance in the Holy Land, clashing in a series of chillingly violent wars, both with the certainty that they were working for God. The Crusade narrates the story of this epic confrontation from the perspective of both Christians and Muslims, reconstructing the experiences and attitudes of the sides in conflict. Combining a dynamic narrative style and penetrating insight, it reveals the full horror, passion, and dreadful grandeur of the Crusading era. 'A dramatic and powerful look at both sides of history' Sunday Times 'A penetrating narrative... A masterful conclusion' Observer
